KitchenAid Immersion Blender with Whisk and Chopper KHB300ER

This fashion-forward blender is sold in bright, solid colors. While it can crush ice to make a thick smoothie, it struggled to purée a thick soup in two minutes. It comes with lots of accessories including a whisk and a food chopper. Because of the steep price, this may be a better choice if you simply love the colors or want an immersion blender that can crush ice and comes with lots of accessories. Available in red, black and white. kitchenaid.com
